Hello,
I posted this a while back:
https://modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/14173
I wanted to be able to create and easily edit my rack, and saw that with a paid membership you can import and export racks.
When I exported though so i could modify all my work, I noticed that there is a hash. Will the import fail if this doesn't match, and what is hashed? For example, would it be okay for me to just add all my modules, then manually edit row/column? It's time consuming, but this would solve the bulk of my problems and let me create the rack starting out.
Otherwise, if you're adding modules to a rack, how do you tell it to add to the next row? For example Ihave my top row done, but there's still space.
Thanks,

Hi,
the json export file is not ment to be edited by users to be imported again, because that would circumvent some security features, e.g. users importing Javascript code, or modules with wrong ids that potentially could mess up the database or 1000 modules to manipulate the Popular Modules statistics.
If you change the JSON file, the import will fail.

Otherwise, if you're adding modules to a rack, how do you tell it to add to the next row? For example Ihave my top row done, but there's still space.

Users can move modules around with keyboard shortcuts like enter key and cursor keys but that is done via Javascript and I think there are no web accessibillity features for that currently.
There is also a function Optimize Rack Space in the edit menu that will try to fill out all spots but will shuffle all modules inside the rack around.

Hi,
I understand. Is there any chance you'd be willing to share the solution for the hashes with me privately? I'd just like to be able to add all my modules and then manually (or probably with a script) edit the row/column so that my case can stay updated. I can promise I won't leak/share this information, but as it stands the most useful part of MG for me is unusable, even with a paid membership. I am trying to get a copy of my rack (and keep it updated) so that I can ask for help/advice on it. Everyone wants to see racks on MG, and not being able to use them is a huge issue for me. I specifically paid for Unicorn thinking it would get around the issue. I'm happy to have paid, but I'm still stuck.

I am also a long-time software developer; my most notable work was CVStats, which was a site built with accessibility in mind to help people with disabilities get access to the COVID-19 stats that were not accessible or easily readable. This work was picked up by Vice and CNET among others. I mention this because I have a long history of accessibility advocacy and work. I don't know what your typical workflow looks like or if this is code written by a single person, but I'd be happy to sign any documents saying I won't leak the code or copy it. That said, I'd genuinely appreciate the chance to be able to make MG more accessible for free, without any cost to MG or anyone else. If you're willing, I'd be happy to make these changes through github pull requests, or whatever VC system you make and acceptance would be up to anyone else. I realize and understand that it's tough to make a site like this more accessible, and even more-so without prior knowledge or testing.
Thanks,

Just bumping this again. I can't use most of the features on this site, but would really just love a way to import my rack. Any updates/ideas?
